Caroline Hayes came to Pittsburgh to disappear.
At thirty-seven, the fiercely competent Appalachian social worker has spent a lifetime mistaking control for care and damage for devotion. PTMC is supposed to be different: a new city, a new hospital, a life where nobody knows what happened in Tennessee.
Then she meets Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch.
Older, guarded, brilliant, and carrying wounds he refuses to name, Robby feels dangerously familiar in all the ways Caroline has sworn she would never choose again.
Their relationship is not gentle. It is jealous, complicated, intimate, and sometimes cruel. Because Robby does love her.
The problem is that Caroline has spent her whole life learning that love and hurt can look frighteningly alike.
